Meat & Potatoes Vodka

OK, enough with bacon fetish, already. Yes, everyone (meat eaters, that is) loves bacon. But frankly, I've had it up to the eyeballs with the media's and foodies' lust for all things bacon. --- It's just BACON, for chrissake. But, this is the product that finally made my head explode: Bakon.

Bakon is -- and I'm not joking -- bacon-flavored vodka, produced by Black Rock Spirits of Seattle. And yes, it's actually made with meat and potatoes: Idaho Russets and bacon. Suggested recipes from Bakon include the prosciutto-wrapped melon shot, Bakon oyster shooter, Bakon L'Orange and (again, I'm not kidding) the Bakon chocolate martini.
